Recently, the Meme coin market has indeed been hot. In just one week, the total market capitalization of the sector jumped from 38 billion to 47.7 billion, with top projects like Pepe surging 65%, and trading volume tripling. Looking at the growth chart, it's easy to get carried away.

But this pattern is something we've seen many times before. Whenever a major market rally occurs, Meme coins are always among the first to be爆发. Why? Simply because they are purely—lacking complex fundamentals, driven entirely by stories and market consensus. When the last bull run started, it played out exactly like this.

The problem is, the essence of Meme coins is an emotional game; rapid gains only highlight their lack of intrinsic value support. You can participate and enjoy some gains, but never mistake short-term increases for investment strength, nor expect long-term stable growth. That's where many pitfalls lie.

What’s more worth paying attention to now is the direction. The Meme sector is already saturated, and the space for capital inflow is limited. Historically, active ecosystems like Solana are likely to become the next gathering place for funds. Ecosystem popularity, application innovation, trading activity—these are the real factors that can sustain a continuous market trend.

If you currently hold Meme coins that are trapped or worry about missing the next wave, instead of blindly chasing the surge, it’s better to calmly analyze the market rhythm and capital flow. Grasping the true opportunity is much more reliable than blindly following the trend.

MEME-3,88%

PEPE-7,73%

This round of Meme money-grabbing game is just waiting for the next bagholder --- It's starting again, history repeats itself, and we're losing money --- Pepe rising 65% sounds great, but this is a warning sign of a pre-emptive exit scam --- The Solana ecosystem is indeed attracting funds; those with foresight have already exited Meme --- Drinking soup is fine, but don't go bankrupt; too many people have died here --- Short-term surge = long-term disaster; this rule has never changed --- Funds need to find new places; the Meme card is almost played out --- Seeing a 65% increase making you jealous? Remember how badly you got burned last time --- The ecosystem is the key; purely emotional tokens will eventually become worthless --- The Meme capacity was saturated long ago; it's a bit late to react now

Pepe's 65% surge is indeed tempting, but I still think this wave is just an emotional relay race; don't mistake short-term crazy gains for fundamentals. The Solana ecosystem is indeed worth paying attention to; it's definitely more reliable than chasing high meme coins.

477 billion Meme market cap? I have already been tracking the on-chain footprints of those early addresses. The fund migration trajectory is very clear. The next wave will inevitably flow into the Sol ecosystem. This is not a prediction; the on-chain data is speaking.

It's the same routine again, acting this way every time. Wait, will the Sol ecosystem really succeed this time, or will there be another wave of losses? I think, right now, chasing memes is just gambling on human nature. When the gamble is over, you have to run.

Thinking about getting rich after a 65% increase—I've been tricked by this routine before, haha. Now it's probably SOL ecosystem's turn to take the lead. Let's wait and see.

Pepe surged 65%, indeed exciting, but I don't believe there won't be a dump this time --- Meme coins are just casinos. Don't forget the people who have to take the bag after you make money --- Wait, is the Sol ecosystem really more worth jumping into than Meme? --- Drinking soup is fine, but don't end up as the last one holding the bag --- Every time I say I won't chase next time, I turn around and jump in again haha --- A market cap of 47.7 billion is saturated? That logic is a bit far-fetched --- You're right, but I will still buy the dip on Pepe, it's only a few thousand bucks anyway --- Funds are flowing into Sol, got it, this time won't lose money --- Emotional games are just emotional games, it's all about heartbeat --- Been trapped for two months, now hearing you say that makes me even more hopeless --- Meme will never die, it all depends on who can survive until the end --- People who stick to fundamentals missed out on the 65% increase, isn't that ironic

This wave of PEPE is rising so aggressively... My friend went all in again, it really is addictive. The套路 is indeed the same, every time it's meme first爆炸, then割韭菜. This suggestion to be optimistic about the Solana ecosystem, funds will eventually flow here. Don't mistake short-term gains for investment strength, this sentence really hits home. Those who chase after涨幅 when capacity is saturated are basically just paying tuition to big players.

A 65% increase... here we go again, this tactic is really everywhere.
